I'm not fucking around
I think I'm coming out
All the deciever and cheaters
I've think we've got a bleeder right now
Want you to slap me around
Want you to knock me out
Well, you missed me kissed me
Now you better kick me down
Maybe you're the runner up
But the first one to lose the race
Almost only really counts in
Horsehoes and hand grenades
I'm gonna burn it all down
I'm gonna rip it out
Well, everything that you employ
Was meant for me to destory
To the ground now
So don't you fuck me around
Because I'll shoot you down
I'm gonna drink, fight and fuck
And pushing my luck
All the time now
Maybe you're the runner up
But the first one to lose the race
Almost only really counts in
Horsehoes and hand grenades
Demolition, self-destruction
What to annihilate
The age-old contradiction
Demolition, self-destruction
What to annihilate
The old age
I'm not fucking around
I think I'm coming out
All the deceivers and cheaters
I've think we've got a bleeder right now
I'm not fucking around
G-L-O-R-I-A
This song was originaly supposed to be in "American Idiot" ... HazelDountLovesBullet, in my opinion, is right, but to me it makes more sense with St Jimmy/Jesus of Suburbia & Whatername rather than Christian & Gloria...
This song is the 13th installment of the 21st Century Breakdown story. It has no clear definition of whose perspective it is written in, but could very easily be both. I see it as Christian's.
He's pissed because Gloria has run away, and maybe he thinks she was cheating. It sounds almost like he's making fun of her.he's saying that he's leaving her, and that he's going to send their relationship up in flames and forget her.
